(Author note: Play this after you get pass Melchior and Magilou.)

Meanwhile with Magilou

Bienfu: M-Miss Magilou...!

Magilou: Don't worry... If those two love birds... could do it... There's no way I can't...

Melchior: How many times do you plan to destroy and rebuild your own heart, Magilou?

Magilou: I'm on a hundred and seven... Or was it a hundred and eight....? I lost count... Heh... Not that I really care.

Melchior: You pathetic fool. Did I not tell you it would require an iron will, as indomitable as the very trees that live and die across millennia?

Magilou: Gnnnah... Like you I suppose...Or that boy over there...?

Melchior: That is the foundation of an Ideal universe. One free from man's sins.

Magilou: Heh... An Ideal universe, huh? I'll tell you one thing Melchior... There's a guy from another world in this one, he's alive. He's chasing and protecting a terrifying demon girl, I think they got a thing for each other. But he has learned the hardships of life already. And despite that, he still puts his faith in humanity... In that demon girl... These people... They're different from us... Despite that pain, anguish, they embrace the life they've been given. They live undaunted by the ugliness of the world!

Melchior: So your doing this all for them? Is that what this is?

Magilou: Hehe... Not even close. They aggravate me to my wits end. like stabs in the chest, over and over and over. And that's exactly why... That's why... I intend to see how all of this ends with those two... I won't be satisfied until I do!

Melchior: ....You truly are my greatest failure.

Magilou: Gosh.. Funny just how much I care...

Melchior: Farewell, Magilanica.

Beinfu: No! Please!

Koda/Velvet: "Lethality's Judgement!"

A huge blast came through the rift and knocked back Melchior.

Koda's POV:

Magilou: Huh?

Velvet: Let me guess... We came at a good time?

Magilou: Your late! Because of you two, I had to have a very boring conversation!

Koda: Ha, sorry about it. Let all of us take care of the rest.

Melchior: So you came face-to-face with Innominat. If so, then you must know that your quest for revenge is utterly meaningless.

I just stared down Melchior. Then I looked at Velvet.

Velvet: Yeah, I did... I know why sadness fills this world, and I know how deep are the burdens of sin. I tried to abandon my memories of Arthur, Laphi, and Koda, to cut myself off from caring, from all of it. And end this tragedy. It's... what Laphi and Arthur would have wanted...

Melchior: Exactly, you do well to know your pl-

I slashed at Melchior again, shutting him up.

Koda: She wasn't finished!

Koda: She wasn't finished!
